Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

In a wide bowl, use a fork to whisk egg whites/substitute with 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper.

In another wide bowl, mix breadcrumbs with remaining seasonings, including remaining dash of cayenne pepper.

Place chicken in the bowl with the egg mixture. Flip to coat.

One at a time, shake chicken nuggets to remove excess egg, and coat with breadcrumb mixture.

Evenly place on the baking sheet, and top with any remaining breadcrumbs. Bake for 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and uniform.

Transfer nuggets to a large plate, and drizzle with half of the sauce. Serve with remaining sauce for dipping.
